That basil you sent me Flo is doing really well in the past few day and is getting some huge leaves on it now. Normal sized leaves for months and a few days sun has sent them into overdrive and the leaves are getting huge.

had some for tea tonight in me salad. Gorgeously strong. I've put em in biggish clay pots and they seem to like it

Oops forgot so say, it's the Balloso. Fantastico Very Happy

Ta very much Very Happy

You're welcome! Very Happy

Mine I hasten to say still has not got much bigger than 2" in either direction ... supposed to be lettuce leaf size Confused .... still I think it needs more water than we thought it would so should see some improvements soon!

yeah they do drink a fair bit. Mind you mine are in terracotta pots and I think the pot absorbs quite a lot of the water
